STEP 1: INVESTIGATE
a. Identify the Problem:
1. Identify the Problem: make an egg survive a ~15 ft drop
b. Develop the Design Brief:
2. Research, and find designs that would work for your egg drop.
3. How do you know that these resources are trustworthy? i seen pictures and videos of them working
4. Explain why not all Internet sources are trustworthy? some people may not have tested their designs or they are trying to ruin peoples projects.. maybe...
c. Formulate a Design Specification
5. List all the requirements you must meet to create the egg drop:

they are on the other page
6. Why is it important to test your egg drop before the final “drop”? becuase there might have been something you might have missed that you could fix
7. How does making an egg drop apply to a real world situation? space rovers
STEP 2: PLAN
a. Design a Product or Solution:
8. Create three completely different designs using the Brainstorming Chart.

b. Plan a Product or Solution:
9. Which design do you think will work best? the first one
10. Why did you choose this design? it seems like the best one
11. On the back of your brainstorming paper, draw your final draft.
12. Plan how you will get the entire project finished by May 11. (I will help you with this step!)
we will work every day and spend our time wisely :)
STEP 3: CREATE
a. Use Appropriate Techniques and Equipment:
13. List three safety tips you need to follow to while creating your egg drop: dont glue yourself, dont stab yourself with straws, and dont eat a raw egg
14. Were you nice, respective, responsible, and did you have a good attitude? Explain: yes i did
b. Follow the Plan:
15. Did you follow your plan? nope
16. Did you create steps in your plan that were easy to follow? kinda
17. Did you follow my requirements? yes
c. Create the Product/Solution:
18. What areas of your plan needed troubleshooting? most of it
STEP 4: EVALUATE
a. Evaluate the Product/Solution:
19. Was your design successful? not really
20. How could you improve your solution? work longer on it
21. What part of your design would you use again? the idea of it
b. Evaluate the Use of the Design Cycle:
25. Grade yourself, using the IB Rubric, for each stage of the Design Cycle. Get the rubric from me.
26. How can the Design Cycle be used in other subject areas? science
27. How can the Design Cycle be used in real world situations? (List three) making a product researching something
ATTITUDE
28. Were you nice? ya
29. Were you respectful to everyone in the class and all the equipment in the classroom? yea
30. Were you a whiny-baby? nah
31. On a scale of 1 - 6, give yourself a grade for your attitude: 6Photo_21.jpg
